So you can come to Prague for the show and show them to me.
Yes I do know you came up with $3,000 for a solo girl shoot. Thank you.

You're right I can only go on what I see.

I see all around sales falling, not just small sites but big ones as well.

I see traffic going to Tubes that are proven to convert worse than anything we've ever had.

I don't see anything on Brazzers or Mofos to reverse that trend. The sites have nothing innovative, different or even better than what's already available. Yes I know you're the biggest payer on online porn. But compared to what good shooters can earn, you don't pay enough.

It's not about what I shoot for to produce content, it's about what I could earn to produce content. For a decade online porn could never pay me enough to shoot exclusive for it. It still can't pay enough to get the top shooters in porn. Unless they own their own sites. You pay $2,000 for 3 solo girl scenes exclusive. Shooters could earn $3,000 from one set non exclusive, why should any other good shooter work for you or any other online porn company?

Yes the business has changed and good shooters are turning to wedding, shooting hotels, wildlife or just retiring. They're not lining up outside your door to work for you. Or if they are they're not doing anything very marvelous. Then it begs the question WHY NOT?

I don't doubt at the moment you're picking up business from other online companies. Taking 5,000 surfers and 5 sales from other sites and converting them into 5,000 surfers and 1 on yours, is not good business. Try taking 5,000 surfers from them and turning them into 10 on yours. That's good business.
